| Résumé : |
‘If only I had time’... the complaint of so many people in today’s society.
There never seems enough time to do what needs to be done. When did we start to ‘lose’ time? Why in this so-called age of leisure do we have less than previous generations? Can we only move faster and rearrange priorities more efficiently? Is there a distinctively Christian response to time? What can we practically do about it — as individuals and families, at work and at church, and in our communities? The author analyses the problem and presents some life changing solutions. |
